Daca recipient applied for firearms permit, got denied

New Member

I applied in the state of New Jersey for a firearms permit. Today I received a phone call from the chief of police explaining that I am in the country illegally and immigration confirmed that I am illegal but not being pursued. He said he will send me a letter in the mail explaining this and why I was declined a firearms permit.

I live at my parents house, which they are fully illegal. Can the police and will they tip off ICE? I’m worried about them coming after my parents.

What in God's name were you thinking about applying for a firearms permit knowing you aren't a citizen. Not only that an "illegal"

Not trying to scare you but Expect a visit from ice. They sure love making house calls in Jersey. They dragged my. Brothers long time friend out of a car saying he was in the country illegally along with the sherrifs department.
FYI if immigration wasn't pursuing you. Rest assure they might now. I can't imagine an illegal wanting to acquire a firearm would sit well with them!!

So filing an application is grounds for suspicion? I’m not an illegal immigrant, I’m a daca recipient. I don’t see what the issue with trying to legally acquire a firearm is. Figured if they didn’t give it to me, oh well.
For ice to get involved it would be contingent on the police department contacting them no?
